Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they were just slightly off-scale; just enough to ensure that no-one could make a cheap deathwing army or something like that. Maybe scaled like the old metal terminators? IIRC, they were a little bit smaller than the plastic kits we have now, yet with GW's current technology I'm sure they could still make some ace looking termies.

Also, if worse comes to worse and GW makes retarded 'revised' rules for Space Hulk (not saying a revision would necessarily be bad, just that there's a chance) you could always just toss them out and use old space hulk rules. The miniatures/board pieces are all I'm really interested in tbh.

Hehe I feel your pain. I have to take a flight out of my country to reach a GW store, so I'd hate it as well if it was a limited time offer.

"no lavendar and passionfruit infused bath salts in the house,...or no small novelty collectable statues of teddy bears depicted in comical situations involving kittens in the house"

I see...to make her feel bad about it, I deliberately deny myself my other two favorite things in the world! Cunning!

Sathos, I love you too :)

I think I need to add more smileys to my posts, so that the wording isn't taking so critically.

So in honor of you, I shall add many smileys from now on!

Get over it man. BOLS linked to the Dakka page and someone looking to further learn about the subject can easily click the link and read there.

A single time does BOLS slip up on their reporting and they get hammered by (as BuFFo put it) internet parrots. It's unnecessary to make issue with this. A simple, polite correction would do fine. But that's not what you chose to do. Which leads me to believe that it's not just about BOLS slipping up on a detail.

Honestly, if the only things you have to say about this subject are negative, then maybe you best stick with the Dakka and Warseer forums.

I actually don't care if they do or don't credit their sources, and most of the time BLOS does. What I care about is the /content/ of the news. In this instance, there wasn't any. It was over a week old, suspect when posted, and if they'd read past the first page of the thread at Dakka they'd know that.

Being a one-stop-shop for rumours taken from Dakka, Warseer or whatever is fine - it saves time, and saves you having to go to Warseer, which is always a bonus - but a little bit of integrity with what they report would be helpful.

BYE

From what I've been told by a local manager is that the plastic terrain idea was dropped as they would not be able to fit it in the box, but it may have 3D card terrain. Also the genestealers are in different poses with things like coming out of the ground and lookinig round corners...

That was actually how BFG started in early development, as a big rules pack for having fleet battles and boarding actions happening simultaneously. However the project was so big it got scaled back and massively simplified to become the BFG game that we know today.

Good luck, apparently there are only supposed to be one or two released per store...

Man O War is hated by certain GW staff, ensuring it will never see the light of day again. Which is a shame as it formed the 'big three' - Blood Bowl, Man O War and Space Hulk - in terms of sheer damn fun to play.

haha tell me about it... a friend of mine was going to do a hive fleet's ground forces in 3rd ed till he realised how many it was...he was thinking double a marine chapter tops until we all told him the numbers should be almost limitless... he fields a 3k max force these days and the bugger moved to the other end of the country before I got to play him lol

I loved the blue genestealers, personally I feel that they are still the better version and some of GW's best work to date...if they had simply re-tooled them to be multi part I would probably be a nid player :)

Well done to Buffo and Wes... to Wes, I too am one of those with limited time and only really check BoLS so a week, a month...it makes no odds I would still rather know late than not at all and as Buffo says when the item is 6 months down the line a week doesnt matter.

To Buffo...I am starting to like you more and more dude, some of your posts come off as harsh or reactive and I have "posted against you" a few times but posts like this hit home and show that much of your supposed "dick-ness" is probably just the way you wrote something at the time or in how it was read.

Nice job lads :)

On that same note i have a friend who collects tyranids. in his house he has a bucket full of Mccrag and "sex toy blue" stealers that he got for free/next to nothing. Even with an entire army of nothing but full squads of them on the table the bucket isn't even empty.

They did have rules for the patriarch in Genestealer: 9APs, 4 dice with a +3. Couldn't move though, but used the crappy, crappy Genestealer psychic rules and was very powerful.

About the pricing.. The plastics will probably all be simple snap fit versions, not the same sprues as in the current boxes

They will likely not be the full kits for terminators just like the AOBR box or previous boxes of board games and starter sets. Still 20 terminators and a bunch of genestealers for 50 pound (USD $75) is a really goodd deal for the smurf players even if they are vanilla.
